What does a small town in Sardinia, Italy have in common with the pitched battle over the proposed Rosemont copper mine in the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson?

The same Canadian mining speculators that are now seeking government permits to blast a mile-wide, half-mile deep hole in the Santa Rita Mountains and dump waste rock and mine tailings on more than 3,000 acres of the Coronado National Forest once owned and operated an open-pit gold mine in Sardinia.

What happened near the iconic Sardinian farming town of Furtei provides crucial insight into what could happen here, in southern Arizona.

Investigative MEDIA, LLC’s 23-minute video documentary “ Cyanide Beach ” tells an important and timely story that anyone interested in the Rosemont copper mine project needs to know.

Additional screenings will be scheduled; stay tuned for more opportunities to see this film!
